I just placed an order for the 3" 686 and have been thinking about the VM2. Coincidentally I've also been looking at Ahrends boot grips. Your picture was helpful, looks like a nice combination.

How practical would you say the VM2 is for regular carry as an IWB holster? Is this something you've worn for extended periods and would you say it's comfortable, manageable or what?

Thanks.
